Backward Dan
From the book My Dog Likes to Disco
.man backward the Dan Backward I’m
.can you if me with backward Rhyme
.down goes sun the when up wake I
.frown a wears, happy when, face My
.dessert for dinner my eat I
.shirt a like just wear I pants My
.dad and mom my than older I’m
.sad I’m when laughing always I’m
.can you if me with backward Rhyme
.man backward the Dan Backward I’m
